React Native's benefits come into play when you start sharing across platforms (including sharing react native codebases with web), and being able to develop on a codebase where web developers could easily get onboard. That being said, I guess it comes down to how you'd find the learning curve of each. If you're not savvy with JS and don't want to reach the point of having a shared codebase with Android, maybe go with Native.

A side note on this, I think there's a real untapped opportunity for native developers to work with React Native developers to build out the box native components that perhaps they use as a toolbelt to make cross platform apps way more efficiently but perhaps offer a bit more fidelity than most React Native Apps.
